A Movement Exploration

Fear, Anxiety & Reconnecting with the Unknown A Contact Improv & Authentic Movement Exploration with Angelika Doniy Fear and anxiety are never behind or ahead of us, they are with us right here, right now. But courage is here too. This workshop is about the novelty of each step and movement, in solo, in duets and within a group. Looking into what hinders the unknown… the deceptiveness of the seeing eye and physical tension. We will explore in detail ways to change our usual trajectories into unknown trails. On the way to finding courage and playfulness, we will take time for recognition and release of tensions in the body to free the inner space. Contact improvisation offers a playful, self-defined way of connecting to other dancers. It becomes a joyful game of give and take. Authentic Movement is a beautiful tool to connect to an inner moving impulse. It is a possibility to express feelings, images and information from the subconscious that come through our bodies. These modalities will be our guide to understanding the unknown. To better communicate with ourselves and others. Using time, space, silence and contemplation to find our own unique improvisation. Concepts that will be used in our exploration of the unknown are: ~ Conscious disorientation. ~ Coordinating centre of the body and the limbs, seeing the body as an entity. ~ Integrating spirals into movement, using the three-dimensional, multi-level and ever changing space around us. ~ Having a conscious interest in being upside down and integrating the space behind the back into our dance. ~ Recognizing, relaxing and releasing tension in the body. ~ Using speed in movement as a challenge to awaken concentration and attention.
